I can't even describe to you how excited I've been to get this news out to you all. I've been reading with glee as you've pleaded for more toughness, knowing we had this young man lined up. I believe that we've just landed the biggest, toughest player in our league and one that is actually also very good at playing hockey! Patrick had several NHL/AHL as well as DEL offers and instead chose our little team in Wales. Incredible.
So now our attention shifts to marketing our team and our great sport to the good people of Cardiff. For people who like fast paced skill Ana scoring, we've got it in spades. Martin, Doucet, Bentivoglio, Ulmer and Hotham all have potential to be in the top ten in league scoring. Asselin and Morrisette shouldn't be far off.
For those of you who like physicality, in addition to having the toughest guy in the league, in Louis and Batch we also have two more in the top eight. The Devils will certainly not be messed with this year.
Obviously putting a team like this on the ice requires bums in seats. For anybody that has friends or family that has never seen a hockey game, bring them out. Our commitment to this fabulous city and you amazing fans is pretty damn clear so let's work together to have that arena rocking every night.
What a day to be a Devils fan!!!
